It's a bloodbath in mainstream media, and the numbers are brutal. CBS News is making sweeping cuts. NBC News is slashing jobs. Reporters, producers, and crews across the country are being shown the door in the name of “restructuring.” So what does this mean for the future of journalism? Is mainstream media dying, or just selling out? Because as outlets pivot toward right-wing narratives and bend the knee to Trump, it's starting to look less like journalism and more like appeasement.

Savienotās Valstis ieviesušas pirmās nopietnās sankcijas pret Krieviju kopš Trampa stāšanās amatā. Savukārt krievi paspēja izmēģināt jaunu spārnoto kodolraķeti. Tramps izteicies, ka viņu kodolzemūdene nav tālu no Krievijas krastiem. Retorikā spriedze ir atkal pieaugusi. Tikmēr Savienoto Valstu prezidents devies turnejā pa virkni Āzijas valstu, slēdzot jaunas tirdzniecības un sadarbības vienošanās. Svarīgākā tikšanās vēl priekšā - visvairāk tiek gaidīta Donalda Trampa un Ķīnas līdera Sji Dzjiņpina saruna. Tā notiks rīt, 30. oktobrī. Argentīnā nedēļas nogalē notika tā saucamās vidustermiņa vēlēšanas. Kaut arī ir īstenotas itin drakoniskas reformas ar solījumiem tās turpināt, prezidenta Havjera Mileja partija ir izcīnījusi pārliecinošu uzvaru. Aktualitātes komentē Austrumeiropas politikas pētījumu centra pētnieks Armands Astukevičs un portāla "LSM.lv" žurnālists Ģirts Kasparāns. Trampam vienreiz pietiek, Putinam nav gana Vēl pagājušajā trešdienā Divu pusložu studijā spriedām, ka Donalds Tramps pret agresorvalsts vadoni Putinu ir skarbs tikai vārdos. Tomēr jau nākamā diena atnesa ziņu, ka Vašingtona pakļāvusi sankcijām divas lielākās Krievijas naftas kompānijas – „Rosņeftj” un „Lukoil”. Un lai arī ekspertu viedokļos dominēja atziņa, ka reālais posts Krievijas ekonomikai nebūšot nekāds lielais, tomēr gluži pēkšņais pavērsiens Baltā nama saimnieka politikā Kremlī acīmredzami radīja zināmu šoku. Līdz šim Tramps bija paudis, ka neķersies pie sankcijām pret Krievijas naftas ieguves nozari, iekams Eiropas Savienības valstis nepārtraukšot pirkt krievu naftu. Tomēr Putina taktika, ko grūti raksturot citādi, kā Amerikas līdera vazāšanu aiz deguna, acīmredzot ir pārsniegusi „sarkano līniju”, pārāk uzkrītoši bojājot ne vien Donalda Trampa garastāvokli, bet arī viņa prestižu. No Maskavas izskanējušais, ka Krievijas kompānijām noteiktās sankcijas izraisīšot strauju naftas cenu kāpumu pasaules tirgū, neapstiprinās, ciktāl Persijas līča valstis ir gatavas kompensēt deficītu. Tiek ziņots, ka kompānija „Lukoil” sākusi izpārdot savus ārvalstu aktīvus. Var piebilst, ka nule arī Eiropa ieviesusi kārtējo sankciju paketi, kuras nozīmīgākā daļa ir sašķidrinātās dabasgāzes iepirkumu pārtraukšana līdz nākamā gada beigām. Kā Krievijas atbilde Rietumu ekonomiskajam spiedienam acīmredzot jāuztver pirmdienas paziņojums par jaunas raķetes sekmīgu izmēģinājumu, kuru vērojis pats Kremļa saimnieks. Jau 2018. gadā Putins ar pompu izziņoja šī ieroča izstrādi. Spārnotā raķete „Burevestņik”( „Vētrasputns”) esot unikāla, jo aprīkota ar kodoldzinēju, kas padarot tās lidojuma ilgumu un, attiecīgi, sniedzamību praktiski neierobežotu. Eksperti gan apšauba „Vētrasputna” spēju pārvarēt nopietnu pretgaisa aizsardzības sistēmu. Kā telekanālam NBC News izteicies Apvienoto Nāciju Organizācijas Atbruņošanās pētījumu institūta vecākais pētnieks Pāvels Podvigs, „galvenais iemesls, kāpēc neviens cits nav mēģinājis uzbūvēt kaut ko līdzīgu, ir tas, ka tam īsti nav nekāda pielietojuma”. Tikām ar daudz ordinārākām raķetēm un lidrobotiem Krievija turpinājusi graut Ukrainas civilo infrastruktūru. Tiek ziņots arī par vadāmo kaujas lidrobotu uzbrukumiem civiliedzīvotājiem piefrontes zonā, kas ir klajš kara noziegums. Ukraina, savukārt, turpina sekmīgi graut Krievijas militārās rūpniecības objektus. Īpaši tiek atzīmēts raķešu trieciens Brjanskas Ķīmiskajai rūpnīcai, kas ražoja sprāgstvielas un raķešu komponentus. Triecienā izmantotas britu ražojuma raķetes „Storm Shadow”, kas liecina, ka Ukraina saņēmusi sabiedroto atvēli lietot šos ieročus triecieniem dziļi Krievijas teritorijā. Donalda Trampa Austrumāzijas tūre Svētdien, 26. oktobrī, Donalds Tramps uzsāka savas otrās kadences laikā nepieredzēti plašu tūri pa Austrumāzijas valstīm. Vispirms viņš ieradās Malaizijas galvaspilsētā Kualalumpurā, kur risinājās Dienvidaustrumāzijas valstu asociācijas jeb ASEAN samits. Aukstā kara laikā šī organizācija tika radīta ar ASV atbalstu kā pretsvars padomju ietekmei reģionā, tagad tā pārtapusi diplomātiska dialoga un tirdzniecisku sarunu platformā. Kā tiek atzīmēts, Trampa klātbūtne nozīmīgi paaugstinājusi notikuma prestižu, savukārt viņš pats paspodrinājis savu miera nesēja tēlu, piedaloties nolīguma parakstīšanā starp Taizemi un Kambodžu. Jāteic, ka šajā gadījumā, kad jūlijā robežstrīds starp abām kaimiņvalstīm pārauga bruņotā konfliktā, Trampa piedraudējums vērst pret konfliktējošajiem ekonomiskās sankcijas patiešām veicināja karadarbības noplakšanu. Kualalumpurā noslēdzis dažas tirdzniecības vienošanās, Baltā nama saimnieks pirmdien, 27. oktobrī, ieradās Japānā, kur tikās vispirms ar imperatoru, bet pēc tam ar pagājušonedēļ amatā stājušos premjerministri Sanaji Takaiči, pirmo sievieti šai amatā. Mediji uzsver tikšanās izteikti laipno atmosfēru; tās laikā tika līgumiski apstiprinātas jau agrāk panāktās vienošanās – Japānas eksports uz ASV tiek aplikts ar 15% tarifu, un Tokija veido fondu 550 miljardu dolāru apjomā investīcijām Savienotajās Valstīs. Tāpat noslēgta vienošanās par stratēģiski svarīgu minerālu un retzemju metālu piegāžu kārtību. Visbeidzot šodien, 29. oktobrī, Baltā nama saimnieks ieradās savas tūres pēdējā un svarīgākajā pieturpunktā Dienvidkorejā, kur viņu uzņēma prezidents Lī Džejs Mjans. Sarunu centrā, protams, ir joprojām nenoslēgtā Savienoto Valstu un Dienvidkorejas tirdzniecības vienošanās. Tomēr tūres galvenais notikums ir ceturtdien plānotā Donalda Trampa tikšanās ar Ķīnas līderi Sji Dziņpinu, kuras gaidās jau manāmi atdzīvojušies pasaules akciju tirgi. Protams, nozīmīgākais temats abu pasaules politikas supersmagsvaru sarunās būs iespējamā tarifu kara abpusēji pieņemama izbeigšana. Kā zināms, Ķīna kopš kāda laika šai procesā iedarbinājusi jaunu argumentu – savu retzemju metālu piegāžu ierobežošanu Savienotajām Valstīm. Savienoto Valstu valsts sekretārs Marko Rubio kategoriski noraidījis spekulācijas, ka Vašingtona savu ekonomisko interešu vārdā varētu upurēt Taivānas neatkarību. Nav skaidrs, vai un kas šais sarunās varētu tikt spriests par Ķīnas īpašajām attiecībām ar Krieviju un iespējamo šīs ietekmes izmantošanu karadarbības pārtraukšanai Ukrainā. Visdrīzāk jāpiekrīt tiem, kuri spriež, ka šai aspektā rītdiena nekādus būtiskus jaunumus nenesīs. Var piebilst, ka tikmēr, kamēr prezidents Tramps uzturas Austrumāzijā, kontinenta otrā malā sākusi ļodzīties viņa pirms trīs nedēļām sastutētā pamiera konstrukcija. Vakar vakarā Izraēlas premjerministrs Bejamins Netanjahu devis pavēli bruņotajiem spēkiem vērst aktīvus aviācijas triecienus pret Gazas joslas teritoriju. Vīrs ar motorzāģi Ar striktiem taupības pasākumiem valdībai maz cerību izpelnīties sabiedrības atsaucību, tomēr šķiet, ka Argentīnas prezidentam Havjeram Milejam tas izdodas. Pēc pirmajiem diviem valdīšanas gadiem, kuru laikā īstenota radikāla valsts tēriņu mazināšana, svētdien, 26. oktobrī, notikušajās starpvēlēšanās Mileja vadītā partija „Brīvība virzās uz priekšu” guvusi pārliecinošu uzvaru. Kopumā šais vēlēšanās mandātus saņēma divdesmit četri no septiņdesmit diviem parlamenta augšpalātas – Senāta – deputātiem un sešdesmit četri no 257 apakšpalātas deputātiem, attiecīgi 13 senatoru un 64 apakšpalātas vietas tika prezidenta partijai. Šāds parlamenta sastāvs atvieglos viņam uzsāktā kursa īstenošanu – jaunus taupības pasākumus un ekonomikas regulējuma mazināšanu. Līdz šim prezidents samazinājis budžeta finansējumu izglītībai, pensijām, veselības aprūpei, infrastruktūrai un subsīdijām, kā arī atlaidis desmitiem tūkstošu valsts sektora darbinieku, taču opozīcijai izdevies, pretēji prezidenta gribai, palielināt tēriņus valsts augstskolām, atbalstam cilvēkiem ar invaliditāti un bērnu veselības aprūpei. Līdzšinējā Mileja politika ļāvusi būtiski mazināt inflāciju, kas līdz tam sasniedza trīsciparu skaitļus, samazināt budžeta deficītu un atjaunot investoru uzticēšanos. Tomēr ir skaidrs, ka radikālās taupības politikas sekas ir bezdarba pieaugums, ražošanas sašaurināšanās un iedzīvotāju pirktspējas kritums. Tas viss liek runāt par recesijas risku. Šajā situācijā atbalstu Milejam sniedzis viņam simpatizējošais Donalds Tramps. Savienotās Valstis piesolījušas četrdesmit miljardus dolāru lielu kredītlīniju, taču tikai tādā gadījumā, ja esošais prezidents paliek pie varas. Visdrīzāk arī šim faktoram bijusi nozīme prezidenta partijas panākumos. Var piebilst, ka vēlēšanās piedalījušies nepilni 68% balsstiesīgo argentīniešu, kas ir zemākais rādītājs vairāku desmitgažu laikā un tiek uzlūkots kā apliecinājums sabiedrības politiskai apātijai.

This episode opens with a light examination of vigilance and what's at stake in the fight against white supremacy. Jasiri and Saïd banter about the intricacies of being vigilant in today's society, and the duo quickly pivot to the real difficulties of defeating age-old prejudices entrenched in civilization.Looking yet again through the lens of scrutinizing Donald Trump's recent actions and communications, 1HOOD unpacks the controversy surrounding Trump's mental acuity test, often being mistaken for an IQ test, leaving the door open for implications and murmurings about alleged dementia. In the light of Trump's broader public image and political maneuvers this would be most devestating.The dialogue shifts sharply to the topic of old people running America's government questioning why people keep voting for elderly candidates in their 80s and 90s, and why older people continue to hold significant influence over the policies that shape younger contemporary lives and future generations.Jasiri highlights the irony of Republican policies severely hurting their predominantly white voter base pointing out the dissonance between political promises and economic realities with the impending fallout from SNAP benefit shutoffs affecting everyday lives, especially in low income white communities.The conversation concludes with the significance of Zoran Mamdani's campaign for Mayor of New York enraging billionaire's to spend heavily to stop him showing that grappling with white supremacy is not a simple task but one that requires community solidarity, continuous education, and an unwavering commitment to justice and equality. This Week In White Supremacy continues to provide a platform for insightful and critical discussions, balancing humor, and seriousness to tackle pertinent cultural and political issues. 1HOOD's vibrant conversations serve to enlighten and engage audiences, encouraging broader awareness and action against injustice.

Let's be honest—most onboarding experiences are forgettable at best and overwhelming at worst. Yet for many organizations, the way they welcome new employees hasn't kept up. Traditional onboarding often feels like a box to check—an administrative marathon of paperwork, policies, and PowerPoints. But in a world where people are craving connection, clarity, and belonging, that approach simply doesn't work anymore.As discussed in a recent DEI After 5 episode, embracing change—especially when it comes to how we onboard—can be a powerful catalyst for growth, both for individuals and organizations.Why Onboarding Needs to ChangeWe know that employees decide whether they'll stay with an organization within their first few months—and for Generation Z, that decision happens even faster. According to recent data, 20% of Gen Z employees quit because of poor onboarding, and 8% leave within the first 90 days if the experience doesn't meet expectations. That's not just a retention problem—it's a culture problem.Gen Z and younger millennials are entering the workforce with a clear set of values. They want to understand what a company stands for from day one. In fact, 62% of women and 42% of men in Gen Z expect to learn about their organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies during onboarding. This isn't just a “nice-to-have” feature—it's foundational to how they decide whether they belong.When onboarding fails to answer those deeper questions—Do I fit here? Is this a place where I can grow? Will my voice matter?—employees start to disengage before they've even begun.From Administrative to TransformationalEffective onboarding is no longer about checklists—it's about connection. It's an invitation to embrace change, to build trust, and to set the tone for psychological safety from day one.Organizations that get this right are moving from “orientation sessions” to onboarding experiences—interactive, personalized, and grounded in the company's values and culture. Instead of overwhelming new hires with information, they're creating space for exploration and engagement.In the podcast, we explored how today's employees are wired for interactivity. They grew up in digital spaces that reward curiosity and participation. Sitting through hours of dense slides? That's a fast track to disengagement. In fact, 75% of Gen Z admits to skipping or fast-forwarding through boring onboarding content.Modern onboarding should mirror how people learn and connect today:* Short, engaging videos that bring your culture and values to life.* Interactive learning tools that reinforce understanding instead of memorization.* Opportunities for dialogue, where new hires can safely ask questions without fear of judgment.* Stories and experiences that show—not just tell—how your organization lives its values.Psychological Safety Starts on Day OneA powerful theme from the podcast was the link between effective onboarding and psychological safety. When employees feel comfortable asking questions, sharing feedback, or admitting what they don't know, they're more likely to succeed—and stay.But when onboarding is rigid or transactional, it sends an early signal: “We care more about compliance than connection.” And that's where disengagement begins.By reframing onboarding as the first act of culture-building, organizations can demonstrate trust and transparency immediately. That first impression becomes the foundation for engagement, innovation, and long-term commitment.Embracing Change for GrowthEmbracing change—whether in how we work, lead, or onboard—requires adaptability and courage. It's about stepping outside of what's comfortable to build something that actually resonates.The most successful organizations are those that view onboarding not as a one-time event, but as an evolving process of integration and growth. They understand that people don't just need information—they need belonging.When leaders create space for new hires to feel seen, supported, and empowered, they set the stage for resilience, innovation, and shared success. Change, after all, is only disruptive when we resist it. When we lean into it, it becomes the very thing that helps us grow.If you want to learn more about how to create a culture of care, foster psychological safety, and design workplaces where people thrive from day one, subscribe to our YouTube channelSacha Thompson, founder of The Equity Equation, boasts 20+ years of experience spanning education, non-profit, and tech sectors.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, has set the internet ablaze in the past few days with his most audacious pivot yet. On October 13, Beast Holdings, his business entity, filed a U.S. trademark application for “MrBeast Financial,” as reported by NBC News and CoinDesk. The trademark details point to a full-stack fintech play, with plans for mobile banking, savings, lending, debit and credit functionality, insurance, and even cryptocurrency exchange services. The investor materials referenced by Business Insider suggest this is not a simple brand partnership but a move to install MrBeast as a dominant player in the financial lives of Gen Z. NBC News confirmed the filings through MrBeast's reps, though they declined to elaborate on launch details.The filings outline downloadable software for short-term cash advances, investment management, and even decentralized crypto trading, echoing ideas of turning his vast 447 million YouTube subscribers into neobank customers. The broader implications were dissected by Global Fintech Insider, which noted not only the direct-to-consumer ambitions but also pointed out MrBeast's prior investments in fintech startups like teen-friendly neobank Current and NFT platform Refinable. He's no stranger to crypto and has previously stated he holds Bitcoin and dabbles in NFTs, further linking this new venture to his digital-native reputation.According to ClickAnalytic, MrBeast's genius here lies in engaging a Gen Z audience that trusts creators over institutions. If successful, this could redraw the lines of financial engagement for millions, making finance as social and gamified as his famous YouTube challenges. Banks and regulators are already watching closely, recognizing this as a potential paradigm shift if “MrBeast Financial” materializes. Risks remain high: federal licensing, regulatory hurdles, and the uncertainty that always follows untested creator-led ecosystems.On social media, speculation ran wild within hours of the news breaking: fans buzzed about challenge-based savings accounts and charitable gaming incentives. Industry forums debated whether this could be the future for creator economies, while some skeptics reminded everyone of the regulatory scrutiny intrinsic to banking and crypto. For now, details like a launch date or confirmed fintech partners remain under wraps. What's clear is that trademark filings suggest very real intent—even if a formal bank launch could still be months or even years away.Meanwhile, MrBeast's primary content channels remain active, with his engagement announcement to Thea Booysen from earlier this year still drawing attention. Optimistic posts on Twitter and Instagram over the past two days highlighted his ongoing philanthropic work, including new initiatives hinted at under “Beast Philanthropy.”All eyes are now on regulatory filings, social media teasers, and whether other creators will follow suit. For a man whose last reality series debuted on Amazon Prime with a $5 million prize, betting against him feels unwise. That is the MrBeast update for today.

In this week's conversation between Dr. James Emery White and co-host Alexis Drye, they discuss the results of a recent study from Pew Research, summarized in an article titled, “10 facts about teens and social media.” Pew conducted a survey of teens between the ages of 13 and 17, as well as their parents. The goal was to discover teens' perspective on their experience with social media and its overall effect on their lives. And it revealed a great deal about their online world - the good, the bad and the ugly. Episode Links In addition to the Pew article, there were several other stories mentioned throughout the discussion that were related to the topic of teens and their online world. And as you heard Dr. White say, many of these are stories that were shared in the Daily Headline News - a collection of headlines from around the globe each weekday -posted to Church & Culture.

You can find that series HERE. Finally, there are several series on parenting that Dr. White has given over the years at Meck that have been incredibly impactful for parents and families.
